Summary
Health Net is expanding Shingrix vaccine coverage to include contracted pharmacies starting January 1, 2026 for Individual & Family Plans and February 15, 2026 for Employer Group Plans. Patients ages 50+ can now receive the vaccine at pharmacies with $0 copay, while physician groups can still administer in-office.
Action Required

Train front desk staff to use Health Net's provider directory to verify participating pharmacies when referring patients. Update vaccine administration workflows to include pharmacy referral option when in-office supply is limited.
